The Box Puzzle!

This was an activity planned by Kimberly Drake. It was fun and
entertaining, and brings out some good ideas. We all had a great
time going through it!

This lesson involves pairing off and getting ready to study a
pretty fancy cube. Each pair of people recieve a cube that has
a few things printed on each face. The cube is placed face down on
a table so that you cannot see one of the faces. The object is to
deduce what is on the face from the other 5 faces.

Below is the cube, and can be viewed by Netscape 3 with the
appropriate Quicktime
QTVR Plug-in or Player Move the mouse over the cube; click, hold and drag
either left or right. Go crazy!

We then discussed how we deduced what was on the bottom face;
going around and sharing what we learned. We came close to the
answer.
